Borup Fiord Pass Microbiological Characterization

Borup Fiord Pass, in the Canadian High Arctic, where a low-temperature sulfidic spring flows onto the toe of a glacier. Characterization of Borup Fiord Pass seeks to elucidate microbial processes that occur at low-temperatures in such an extreme environment. These data will be used to infer the potential for metabolic processes occurring in other low-temperature environments, and possibly on other worlds, such as Jupiter's moon Europa.
